Mathematicians
Often, to completely understand the importance of a mathematical theory, it's essential to know about the person who developed it. This category is where all questions about historically significant mathematicians should be asked.

How do you write three and nine fifteenths as a fraction?
3 9/15
However, this fraction will reduce by '3'
Hence
3 3/5
Or 3.6 ( decimal)/.
Who are Nicolaus Copernicus' parents?
Copernicus' parents were Nicolaus Koppernigk - of which 'Copernicus' is the Latin form - and Barbara (Watzenrode).
Why is the parallel axiom in Euclid's geometry false in non-Euclidian geometry?
Euclid's parallel axiom is false in non-Euclidean geometry because non-Euclidean geometry occurs within a different theory of space. There may be one absolute occurrence in non-Euclidean space where Euclid's parallel axiom is valid. Possibly as some form of infinity.
Who invented algebra when why?
its origins go back to the ancient Babylonians by using this system they were able to apply formulas and calculate solutions for an unknown value or values and i guess it was passed form there
How do you use Euler's formula to verify the cos double angle formulas?
Euler's formula states that eθi=cosθ+i*sinθ. We can square both sides to get e2θi=cos2θ-sin2θ+i*2sinθcosθ. But we also know that e2θi=cos(2θ)+i*sin(2θ) (by applying Euler's formula to 2θ). Matching up the real and complex parts, we get the double angle formulas: cos(2θ)=cos2θ-sin2θ sin(2θ)=2sinθcosθ

Why John von Neumann is called father of modern computer?
Charles Babbage (1791 - 1871) is generally called father of computers. There are several other people who came later who also share tiles like that, including Alan Turing, John Atanasoff, John von Neumann, Konrad Zuse.
John von Neumann invented the concept of a stored program. Prior to this invention, computers were strictly data-flow machines, and programming was effected by rewiring of the machine.
Archimedes (287-212 BC) was supreme and greatest Greek mathematician. He solved the problem of buoyancy. He established the laws of the lever. He Devised a method of displacement volumes (the Eureka formula).he Made creative war machines to fight off the Romans. He Invented calculus (although this was forgotten)
Algebra is a tremendously useful mathematical tool, without which modern science and technology would not have been possible.
Algebra was invented as a tool for solving mathematical problems, and it has proved to be tremendously useful. Modern technology as we know it would have been impossible without the use of algebra.
+++
More accurately, algebra is the set of symbols and rules used to construct mathematics. It is not a calculating tool to solve problems in its own right, but allows you to express the ways in which to solve those problems.
When did algebra get invented?
It is said to be invented in 862 by a Persian named Muhammad ibn Muas al-Khwarizmi in what we now know as Iran.
Who apart from August Ferdinand Mobius indendently discovered mobius strip or mobius band?
Karl Friedrich Gauss
What is Nicolaus Copernicus famous for relating to math?
Nikolaus Kopernikus was a Renaissance mathematician and astronomer who formulated a model of the universe that placed the Sun rather than the Earth at the center of the universe.The publication of this model in his book De revolutionibus orbium coelestium (On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres)
What are the names of three female mathematicians?
Olga Taussky; Todd (1906-1997). matrix theory.
Maria Agnesi; wrote the first mathematics book by a woman that still survivesand was the first woman appointed as a mathematics professor at a university.
Amalie Emmy Noether; (23 March 1882 - 14 April 1935) was a German mathematicianabstract algebra and theoretical physics. Described by Albert Einstein and others as the most important woman in the history of mathematics,emale mathematician to get her Phd from CalTech, she is not real
When did Diocles the mathematician die?
Diocles of Carystus, the mathematician, died circa 180 BCE.
He was born at 240 BCE in the city of Carystus.
Answer 1
Archimedes was KILLED by a ROMAN soldier in a war.
Answer 2
It is said that it didn't happen like that. They say that when this Roman soldier tried to kill him, his shadow obscured Archimedes' drawings in the soil. Then Archimedes supposedly said that phrase: ΜΗΠΜΟΥ ΤΟΥΣ ΚΥΚΛΟΥΣ ΤΑΡΑΤΤΕ the meaning of which is: DON'T DISTURB THE CIRCLES DRAWN BY ME ! (I AM IN DEEP THINKING RIGHT NOW)
Answer 3
Archimedes died in Siracusa in 211 BC. He was killed by a confused roman soldier. He was 75 years old when he died.
